The 3 plays in sports everybody will be talking about today

Good morning! Here are the plays everybody will be talking about
on Thursday.

Ichiro collects hit No. 4,257. Ichiro went 2-5
on Wednesday, raising his career hits in MLB and Japan combined
to 4,257. That's one more than Pete Rose had in his career.
Nobody is saying Ichiro's total is better than what Rose
accomplished, but it's a great achievement and one worth
mentioning. It's also just a really big number. Lost in all this
is the fact that Ichiro is now 21 hits shy of 3,000 in MLB alone,
and, even more impressively, he is hitting .349 at age 42. Here's
hit No. 4,257.

Josh Donaldson had an MVP-caliber game.The reigning American League MVP may not even be the most
valuable third baseman in the AL this season, as his offensive
numbers are down a tad and Manny Machado is having a breakout
season. But on Wednesday, Donaldson reminded us why he's so
great, hitting a home run and making two sensational plays going
into foul territory to retire hitters. On this one, he's beyond
the third-base coach when he makes the throw. Amazing.

Nationals win wild one with Jayson Werth's walk-off
hit.In a potential NL playoff preview, the
Nationals took their three-game series from the Cubs, 2-1,
winning the rubber match in a wild affair. Both teams erased
leads in the ninth inning before going to extra innings. The Cubs
once again took the lead in the top of the 12th inning only to
have the Nationals square it up again. That's when Werth just
missed a walk-off home run off the top of the wall in center
field. But that was OK because it was far enough to score Michael
Taylor from first base for the dramatic win.
